The Journey

In early 2022, Ozcan Group noticed that its traditional hiring processes—primarily phone screens and in-person interviews—were not keeping pace with the company’s expanding project pipeline. High-volume applications meant hiring managers had less time to thoroughly assess the technical and interpersonal abilities critical to the company’s reputation for excellence.

Before Jabri

  • Manual screening and scheduling often delayed critical hires.
  • Limited visibility into soft skills like communication and problem-solving.
  • Construction timelines sometimes slowed by staffing gaps.

After Jabri

  • Video-based screening gives immediate insight into candidates’ technical expertise, safety awareness, and communication style.
  • A flexible review process allows hiring managers to rate candidates on their own schedules.
  • Consistent, unbiased interviews ensure every candidate is evaluated fairly—vital for maintaining Ozcan Group’s premium build standards.

The Results: Efficiency & Elevated Hiring

  • Reduced time-to-hire by up to 60% across roles like project managers and site supervisors.
  • Significant weekly time savings for hiring managers who can skip repetitive phone screens.
  • Improved candidate experience, as applicants can submit video responses at their convenience, showcasing both skill and personality.

By adopting Jabri’s video interviewing platform, Ozcan Group has accelerated hiring without compromising on the attention to detail that underpins its reputation. From project managers to skilled trades, finding the right people has never been more efficient or aligned with the company’s unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship.
